...as the disparity between the rich and the poor grows, the fight to corner resources is intensifying. to push through their "sweetheart deals," to corporatize the crops we grow, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and the dreams we dream, corporate globalization needs an international confederation of loyal, corrupt, authoritarian governments in poorer countries to push through unpopular reforms and quell the mutinies. corporate globalization-or shall we call it by its name?-imperialism-needs a press that pretends to be free. it needs courts that pretend to dispense justice.

More From Arundhati Roy

Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. it falsifies the past. it falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. it falsifies statistics. it pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. it pretends to respect human rights. it pretends to prosecute no one. it pretends to fear nothing. it pretends to pretend nothing.

Some people say that the west has a cruel history. these people also may see the achievements of western countries - in terms of the economy, education, health, and social achievements - as a result of exploitation of poorer countries, including arab countries. western nations get rich by using resources such as arab oil. meanwhile, the countries supplying them raw materials remain poor. due to such injustices, jealousies are created.

There's a tree that grows in brooklyn. some people call it the tree of heaven. no matter where its seed falls, it makes a tree which struggles to reach the sky. it grows in boarded-up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps. it grows up out of cellar gratings. it is the only tree that grows out of cement. it grows lushly . . . survives without sun, water, and seemingly without earth. it would be considered beautiful except that there are too many of it.
Beautiful Growing Up Struggle
When you live in a poor neighborhood, you are living in an area where you have poor schools. when you have poor schools, you have poor teachers. when you have poor teachers, you get a poor education. when you get a poor education, you can only work in a poor-paying job. and that poor-paying job enables you to live again in a poor neighborhood. so, it's a very vicious cycle.
